Ingredients:

  • 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

  • 1-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached self-rising flour
  • frosting:
  • 2-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • green, red and yellow food coloring

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, cream butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually add flour. Divide dough in half. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until easy to handle.
